Also I know this might sound like I’m teaching you to suck eggs....but...worth checking these settings across the board. Often the
cfd /forex lot sizes are miles apart. You might have to tailor each market in Sierra so it matches up with Lmax.

On my end the Sierra Chart settings for Gold (spot) correspond with the LMAX instrument information.

The order quantities in Sierra Chart differ from the LMAX order quantities (see the LMAX Trading Service description on the Sierra Chart website):
Quoting
When setting the Order Quantity for any symbol through the Sierra Chart Trade Window Quantity setting, or the Trade Mode Box at the top left of a Chart or Trade
DOM , a quantity of 10, is equivalent to an LMAX quantity of 1.
A quantity of 1 entered within Sierra Chart, is equivalent to LMAX quantity of 0.1.
As of version 1118, for CFDs, the above rules also apply. No longer will a quantity of 1 equal 1 for a
CFD . A quantity of 1 for a CFD now equals .1.
